She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

As Grandma Xia watched Chen Xiangbei walk toward the gate, she suddenly grabbed a bowl from beside her and smashed it against the back of Chen Xiangbei's head.

A single bowl was enough to knock Chen Xiangbei to his knees.

She rushed over and started hitting him, punching him repeatedly with a force completely different from how she usually hit children; she didn't hold back at all.

Chen Xiangbei shouted and tried to defend himself, but having lost the initiative, he had no way to stop Old Lady Xia.

Seeing this, Old Chen and his men immediately tried to pull them apart, but by the time they actually managed to lift Old Lady Xia up, Chen Xiangbei had already fainted.

"Third son, Xiangbei?" Old Chen pulled Xia Laotai while kicking Chen Xiangbei. When he saw that he didn't react, he slapped him across the face. "Are you even human? That's your son, your own son, and you're beating him to death?"

Grandma Xia was slapped hard across the face, and she picked up a stool and smashed it down on Old Chen, cracking his skull open and making his vision blurry.

She then used the stool she was holding to sweep the dishes off the table onto the floor, and rushed into the room of her second son, which was the closest to her, and threw everything out the window.

"Mom, what are you doing, Mom?" Chen Xiangnan and Tang Jiao wanted to rush over, but Xia Laotai was obviously acting strangely. Chen Xiangnan didn't dare let Tang Jiao go in too, but when he tried to pull her in, he was pushed away and his face was scratched.

"Get out of here, you second brother! Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are? Where were you when I was fighting with Xu Meiyu? Huh? Get out of my house. I don't want to see you again."

Grandma Xia rushed into Chen Xianghong's room again and threw her things out just like she had done to Chen Xiangnan's room.

"Mom, Mom, what did I do wrong? Please don't abandon me." Chen Xianghong rushed over, grabbed Xia Laotai, and cried.

Old Mrs. Xia pointed at her head and yelled, "I'm a snob, and you're a good-for-nothing! Your brother is bullying you, and you just happily let him bully you like that? I can't rely on you anymore, so don't come to me if you get bullied again, so as not to bother me. Now get out of here!"

She kicked Chen Xianghong away, and Yu Hongzhen rushed over to help her up, trying to reason with Grandma Xia, "Auntie, Xianghong is just a little kind-hearted. I will take care of her from now on and I will never let her be bullied or cause you any trouble. Aren't you hurting her feelings by doing this?"

Grandma Xia turned back and slapped Yu Hongzhen across the face twice. "You still take care of him? You can't even save your own sister. You're a coward. Your sister was bullied so badly by your parents that she was almost dead. What plan did you come up with? Besides bringing her here, your parents are still living a good life."

"Xiang Hong is your girlfriend. She was bullied by that little bastard Chen Xiangbei. Did you say a word for her? You can't protect your sister, and you can't protect your girlfriend. You still dare to say such things. You're a piece of trash. If you had any backbone, you should have killed your parents when your sister was bullied. Even if you couldn't kill them, you should have hurt them. But besides making some useless reports, did you lay a finger on them? Bah, don't let me see you again."

Seeing Tang Jiao standing there in a daze, Old Mrs. Xia thought for a moment and also scolded her, "Tang Jiao, you've got a problem with your brain. A perfectly good girl like you has to marry that gold digger, the second son. Do you really think he cares about you? If your father weren't the director, or if he weren't useful to him, do you think he would even give you a second glance? You should get out too."

Yu Qingqing noticed that Grandma Xia was looking at her and was a little scared. Then she immediately heard Grandma Xia angrily scolding her, "Yu Qingqing, you are also a useless person. You are bullied like this in the countryside and you don't fight back. Even if you can't fight back, you should just cut off the man's genitals like Xiao Ma's wife did. Then no one will have an easy time."

"Look at you, besides getting a mental illness, you haven't gotten anything back. That family in the countryside bullies you, and your parents bully you too. Do you know why?"

Yu Qingqing shook her head blankly.

Grandma Xia: "Because you're the easiest to bully, and there's no consequence to bullying you. So, get out of here too."

When Grandma Xia saw Yu Qingqing and the other girls, she thought of herself, and tears streamed down her face. As she scolded them, she was also scolding herself. She was useless, so everyone could bully her.

She wiped away her tears with her sleeve, rushed into the kitchen, smashed a lot of things, took out a bottle of wine, went to Chen Xiangbei's room, smashed the wine directly onto Chen Xiangbei's bed, and then lit a match and threw it over.

Chen Xiangbei's bedding immediately caught fire.

Chen Xiangnan: "Mom!"

Chen Xianghong: "Mom!"

Tang Jiao was both aggrieved and shocked: "Mom?"

Yu Hongzhen: "Auntie!"

Yu Qingqing: "Auntie!"

Old Chen covered his head and stammered, "He's gone mad, he's really gone mad!"

The firelight shone faintly through the room's window. Hu Jie saw it from the courtyard and shouted, "Chen Xiangbei, no playing with fire inside the house, not even firecrackers!"

Inside the house, people were frantically trying to put out the fire, but because Old Lady Xia kept trying to stop them, Yu Hongzhen was tasked with restraining her.

Everyone was fighting the fire; even Old Chen, whose face was covered in blood, dared not relax. He felt he needed to go to the hospital, but in the current situation, putting out the fire was more important than going to the hospital.

The soldier's strength was unmatched by others, and he single-handedly grabbed the crazed Old Lady Xia. He held on tightly, not daring to let go for a moment, because Old Lady Xia was still holding matches and didn't know whose room she wanted to burn down.

The fire was eventually spotted by the people in the compound, who, disregarding the New Year celebrations, kicked open the door and rushed in to help.

Seeing that Grandma Xia was being restrained, Chen Xiangbei was lying on the ground, and Old Chen's head was bleeding, they were stunned for a moment before starting to help.

"what happened?"

"What happened? How did it suddenly turn out like this?"

"Old Chen, why don't you have someone take you to the hospital first? You're bleeding a lot."

Is Xiang Bei still alive?

"What happened?"

"What's wrong with Aunt Xia?"

Grandma Yin squeezed in as well, and when she saw her good friend Grandma Xia being pinned down, she immediately rushed over and said, "You rascal, how can you pin someone down like that? Let her go right now!"

Yu Hongzhen hesitated, "I'm afraid my aunt will burn the house down again."

Grandma Yin slapped him hard. "Impossible! How could Sister Xia burn down the house? She's not like Xiang Bei, that reckless child. Why would Sister Xia burn down the house?"

Yu Hongzhen remained silent; he couldn't very well say that they had driven her crazy.

"Let go right now! I'm watching. I promise she won't do anything stupid!"

After being released, Grandma Xia collapsed to the ground, too exhausted to move.

Grandma Yin felt sorry for her, "Sister, what happened?"

Everyone was busy putting out the fire, but the only person in front of her was genuinely worried about her.

Grandma Xia looked at Yin Donghua, leaned against her and burst into tears, her tears quickly spreading across Yin Donghua's shoulder.
